The words of the tree god had already pointed out that on this land existed the ability to break through the limitations of time and space.
What Oboro could think of was Nanika inside Alluka's body.
One of the five calamities.
First, with his current strength, he could almost complete all the prerequisites for making a wish, whether through some form of self-mutilation or suicide. At the same time, the Nanika within the Zoldyck family was still juvenile, so there must be a mature form of Nanika on this land, one whose released power of rules would be even more potent.
I can't travel to other worlds by myself
I need help.
"One more thing. According to my own experience of traveling through time, only the soul can break through the barriers. Moreover, there are differences between worlds. When traveling from a high-level world to a low-level world, the barriers become weaker, making it easier for the soul to pass through. But if traveling to a higher-level space, the pressure on the soul and the success rate may be greatly reduced," Oboro analyzed carefully while opening the system panel.
The system displayed a garbled interface, performing intelligent calculations based on his thoughts.
Like a fishing net he was a fish that had slipped through in the river. If he went to a world with a stronger power system the holes in the fishing net would be extremely small. Even if his soul could pass through and reach the other side, the integrity of his soul would be limited If he went to a lower world, the holes would be larger and easier to break through.
"I already have the experience of traveling through time in this life If I travel again, the best approach is to go to a lower world first to verify the possibility of breaking the barrier. Otherwise I'll most likely fail and completely disappear in the torrent of time and space. Additionally, I must retain my ability to continue traveling. In a lower world, my growth potential isn't large, and I won't be able to stay long. I must ensure that one day, I can return to the world of Hunters."
"Therefore, this first world I travel to is extremely important First, to test the feasibility of soul travel. Second as the tree god said, it will allow me to better understand the true nature of the 'Supreme Will.' Third, that world also needs to have rich experimental properties."
"I hope it works"
After a moment of vague thought, the system generated lines of small characters.
"Soul weight loss?"
Oboro frowned.
According to the system analysis, Oboro was like a fish. The smaller the fish, the greater the possibility of passing through the 'net'.
So
"Sacrifice a part of your soul to increase the chance of success," Oboro understood instantly.
This meant losing some power, but it could be distributed and reorganized within the limited soul energy.
Then the overall strength might not differ too greatly.
All in all, this was like an investment. He might have to give up something in the early stages, but the future rewards would be enormous.
Because this world could no longer accommodate him, and he couldn't venture into the Dark Continent.
There was currently no map in the Hunter's world for him to grow, and he couldn't kill monsters to gain experience points.
He could only rely on other dimensions to fill the gap.
The data given by the system showed seventy percent!
Oboro could travel to a lower-level world with a high chance of success.
But if he wanted to break through to a higher-level world, the success rate was only 5%.
If the host can successfully travel to a new world and ensure that his soul has the ability to reincarnate in other time and space, as the number of travels increases, the space-time barrier's constraints will gradually weaken, and the possibility of returning to the Hunter world will also increase.
Otherwise, even if the host successfully crosses this time, there's a chance he'll be lost in the turbulence of time and space and never return to this world.
"So, the best approach is to start from lower worlds, climb up through worlds with similar power systems little by little, and finally return to the higher level," Oboro said in a deep voice.
The next task was simple
Find numerous beings like Nanika and control them.
Then, reduce the weight of his soul and go into battle lightly.
The ability to be carried to another world was redesigned on the premise that the conditions for crossing were met.
It sounded troublesome, but to Oboro at that moment, it was nothing more than a transformation of energy very simple.
The next second, Oboro burst out a sea of ghost fog and transmitted the image and information of 'Nanika' to all spirits. "Find it!"
As his voice fell, ghosts scattered across the sky.
In fact, many rule-based life forms existed on this land, some with abilities far stronger than Nanika.
But the power of rules for most species was limited and had specific usage directions.
As for the rules imposed by 'Nanika,' because they appeared in the form of 'wishing,' the 'range' of its effect was very large, making it relatively easier to help Oboro. That's why he chose it as his target.
Since he planned time travel, the power of rules should preferably target the level of 'time and space.'
However, many rule-based life forms had nothing to do with it.
Whoosh!
Oboro also turned into a soul, shot through the air, and disappeared at the horizon.
"Aaaaaa!"
Half a year later, Oboro stood in a mountain valley, surrounded by shadows of ball-like thread creatures.
They wandered around in a daze.
Each kept making an 'Ah'-like sound.
It resembled the incessant croaking of frogs in a pond at night, creating mechanical noises.
These desire-dependent bodies were gas life forms.
Oboro had once suspected that Nanika might be a gas life form but that was probably because this rule-based life form had combined with humans.
Nanika was a mutant.
These primitive "Angstroms" had not yet "evolved," but their abilities remained intact.
These creatures could sense desires and parasitize other living things, forming "metamorphoses" like Nanika.
However, because their hosts weren't intelligent creatures like humans, there were obvious differences.
The most crucial point was that their power of rules could be better released and amplified through human language.
However, the 'Angstroms' that parasitized other species lacked the channels to unleash the power of rules This reflected humanity's importance in the evolutionary sequence.
Whether through soul parasitism or mental implantation, it was essentially a combination of energy and genetic transmission caused by evolution.
If Alluka married and had children, continuing his bloodline, perhaps one of his future generations would be born with the ability of 'Ai.'
No longer a split will.
Right now, all the dust-like creatures were trapped here by the ghost fog released from outside, with no escape.
"It's a bit late But these are enough. If I can't add a 'special halo' that can break through the barriers of time and space after gathering such a huge amount of rule power, then this is the end for me."
Oboro took a deep breath.
He would have to spend the remaining six months transforming his soul.
The reason he was able to travel from Earth to the Hunter world was because he was originally just the soul of an ordinary person. To the barrier of time and space, he was just a small fish fry, requiring a certain amount of luck to succeed. But now it was different.
"Although I don't have human genes and don't have the same advantages as Nanika, I can let you truly use the rules!" Oboro looked at the shadows of different sizes before him, slowly raised his arm, and clenched his palm into a fist toward all the gas life forms.
With a resounding bang.
The surging ghost fog rose like a black sea, covering the sky and submerging all the dust-like creatures in an instant.
Using his soul as a medium!
The life form had almost no dependence on flesh. Their hunting method was to spread like gas, unnoticed.
Their parasitizing of souls made them very consistent with "soul" characteristics.
The entire depression was like a pool filled with ink.
The astonishing black tide began to shrink and condense between the mountains.
In the end, all the 'Ai' connected through the power of the soul and merged into one.
Before Oboro, an extremely huge black gas mass gradually appeared, like a giant face with human features.
Oboro mixed countless spirits into it.
"Oborocan youcan you give me yourbrain?"
The super-large air mass with a human face opened its mouth and emitted a deafening, stuttering buzzing sound.
It resounded everywhere.
And called out Oboro's name.
"Certainly."
Oboro smiled slightly.
Then, without hesitation, he swung a knife and stabbed it into his own temple. His fingers instantly shattered his skull, opening it to reveal the brain tissue inside.
Then, with his other hand, he cut off his entire head in an instant, letting it roll to the ground facing "Ai."
Oboro's headless body also fell to the ground.
However, his life energy did not dissipate.
Just half a minute later, a new head appeared with the regeneration of blood vessels, flesh, and bones.
He stood up from the ground again.
With his current abilities, his reliance on the physical body wasn't that great.
His soul had far surpassed the "thoughts after death" known by Nen users in the human world, reaching the point where it could be freed from the physical body.
"I want your soul."
But the next second, Ai's request made Oboro's face change slightly.
Although he was the first person to make a 'wish,' the conditions he was forced to follow weren't that cruel but it seemed that Ai sensed his desire and used it to judge the size of the 'wish.'
There was a connection between conditions and wishes.
"Good."
He still didn't refuse.
I only want some of your soul, not all of it there's a difference.
Just splitting off a bit of his soul it was going to be lost anyway
A quarter of an hour later, Oboro met all the conditions and was finally able to express his wish.
"I want the ability for my soul to travel through time and space at will!"
"Ai."
After that response, the entire mountain area was suddenly filled with dazzling white light.
